I've had this happen as well on IDE drives, generally when there were no drives on the normal IDE channels and only on a PCI ide or SCSI controller or something, as with your case. You might get by to turn off those IDE drives in the BIOS completely, but that's just a guess. I've always just lived with it, as I don't reboot my box that often :) Maybe take a look through the kernel mailing list though. alan -- Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.
